Is Flax ok to use while on cutting cycle?

????

 

[JoBu]

Most certainly!

And still ok to use for Bulking?

 

[JoBu]

It's one of the especially good fats for your diet no matter what your goals are. Also olive oil. It's good to add with your late night prot shake (if you have one) to help slow the digestion and prevent catabolism while you sleep.

About night times shakes. Are they really necessary? Espeically if I'm on a cutting cycle and I'm taking gear?

 

[JoBu]

Cutting cycle...not so much. I typically only have late night shakes when I'm trying to bulk...and I'll even try to wake up around 4 am for a shake. When I'm cutting I typically don't eat after 9pm...big dinner around 8-9pm and bed around midnight. When I'm bulking I try to eat every 3-4 hours 24/7.

flax is good all the time... your mainly using it for its health benefits - not for its caloric content.

 

[Smokescreen]

What are its health benefits?

 

[ProtienFiend]

Well essential fatty acids will provide the body with a host of benefits, especially to someone who is deficient in this sense. Some of the perks include: Regular hormone production and nicer skin/hair.

OMG flax is sooo good. I seriously eat it by the Tbsp. Has a great nutty taste.

Its good since it has omega-3, fiber. GREAT for a breakfast.

The main concern is antioxidant activity, low density lipolipid reduction, high densitiy lipolipid increase, and efficient glucose uptake across the cell membrane (ie. insulin sensitivity - an essential variable when trying to change body composition). It relieves depression and increases mental acuity...but yeah proper/regular hormone production and nice skin/hair are definately perks. It'll help you lose weight in the long run believe it or not , take that and a good monounsaturated source (olive oil)...Be advised that the eicosapentaenoic acid and docosahexaenoic acid are very low in flax seed oil so you might wanna get it in fish (your body can produce those from the flax oil though but you won't be getting optimal amounts)...depends how picky you are.

But would you say night time use is the best time to use it? And at what amount? I use 5 grams of Flax in my night time shakes.

Yo bruh, it's inclusion in your cutting diet will most certainly depend on WHAT your cutting diet is. One cannot say a shake before bed is good/bad, as there is no clue as to what your breakdown is.
I can say that flax is a staple I use while cutting, yes. Works better than any other fats I've used.
